Thin Image host access and pair status

The status of HTI pairs depends on whether the hosts can read from or write to the HTI pair P-VOL or S-VOLs.

The following table explains the host access and pair status.

olh-caution.gif If a host uses a software application to monitor HTI pair volumes other than HTI, the S-VOL status determines if the software application ends abnormally. For example, if the S-VOLs are in a status other than “PSUS” and “PFUS”, the host can reject access.

If a host connects to at least two ports, an abnormality can occur with ports that are not connected to S-VOLs rejecting access from hosts. To resolve these issues, close the software application that monitors volumes.
